There is a lack of alignment between Australia's economy and the views of dealers who assess the Australian dollar. This situation may have benefited Australia during the Asian crisis, but could also have a negative impact. Issues concerning the marketing of the Australian dollar are discussed.

This paper provides empirical evidence on the stock return sensitivity of a sample of Australian companies, to changes in the trade weighted index of the Australian dollar during the post float period January, 1984 - December, 1989. Exposure is estimated using time regression methods. While the evidence of exposure is generally weak, there is evidence that resource stocks and industrial stocks respond differentially to fluctuations in the Australian dollar.

An analysis of exchange rates from late May 1990 through early Sep 1990 is presented. The US dollar was generally weak throughout summer 1990, with a consistent decrease in value against most currencies. The yen, the peseta, the Canadian dollar, and the Australian dollar became stronger during the summer, while the deutsche mark (DM) remained neutral. Both the pound and the franc appreciated against the DM. The Venezuelan bolivar's depreciation against the dollar in early Aug was followed by an appreciation in value.

All Australia's main markets reveals signs of recovery or growth and 2004 will produce plenty of stock winners despite higher interest rates and a stronger Australian dollar. However, investors should be cautious about chasing booms, a case in point is how quickly the US market has forgotten about the 2000 tech wreck, and a strong sense of discipline is required as well as knowledge of stock values.

The appreciation of the Australian dollar will make it more difficult for Australian companies to generate a profit from their exports to the United States. Analysts believe that exporters will begin to suffer as the Australian dollar moves above a value of $0.60 in United States currency. Analyses of the effects of the rising Australian dollar and exporters' strategies for dealing with the trend are discussed. Forecasts for Australian exports and are also presented.

The performance of the Australian dollar is examined in detail, with forecasts. Advice is provided for small investors and others.

The impact of a global recession on the Australian economy is discussed. The slowdown in US, European and Japanese economies is assessed and factors which may assist Australian recovery, such as the weak Australian dollar, are examined.

Base metal producers are not expected to experience the worst possible outcome of the Asian economic crisis because the Australian dollar has a lower value against the US dollar.

Some Asian countries may not be able to pay for the previous metal shipments.

The terrible combination of the Iraq war and the rising Australian dollar has affected the tourist industry in Australia, but tourism stocks are finally attracting investors. A recovery is already in process as fund managers snap up undervalued tourism stocks, however, it is observed that even recent gains can only take some tourism and leisure stocks to a shadow of their former market capitalizations.

In 2004 the increasing Australian dollar has put some big-ticket resource projects under threat, example when the exchange rate raised from US52 cents to US65 cents during the feasibility study of one Resource Company, which was forced to mothball proposed $100-million platinum mine in Western Australia. The platinum price shot up from $US580 (an ounce) to $US860 causing a currency crush.

The Australian dollar is rising against the American dollar but not against other currencies. Currency buyers appear to be focusing on interest rate yields instead of economic growth, and Australia is being largely ignored.
